bertolini, thank you for being with us. and let me just start by saying, why is the fiscal cliff of such concern to you? i mean, do you -- what's the threat here? >> well, i think the big threat, judy, is that if we go off if fiscal cliff we will see negative g.d.p. in the first quarter. and when you get into a recession, american business, rldwe business, bins to make plans on how to reduce its operating costs. and that ultimately results in fewer jobs. so fewer jobs coupled with a negative g.d.p. ultimately put the economy in the wrong direction. and that's not good for anyone. >> woodruff: at the same time, i'm sure you know there's a body of thought out there that says some of the concern about the fiscal cliff is exaggerated. even if it didn't happen by january 1 that there would still be time to get things worked out that in other words this timetable is not so urgent, really. >> well, i think that's misplaced. american businesses are already planning for 2013. we take our operating budget to our board on november 29

the election is behind us. we're ready to get started. >> woodruff: the most difficult of those challenges will be reaching a deal to avert a so-called fiscal cliff. starting january 1, some $500 billion in tax increases will take effect with the expiration of the bush era tax cuts and the payroll tax holiday. at the same time automatic spending cuts will hit defense and domestic programs totaling $109 billion. the spending reductions were triggered when the congressional super committee failed to reach a broad deficit deal last year. that came after talks broan down between the president and house speaker john boehner. senator collins told the newshour today that she's optimistic lawmakers can still strike a deal and stave off the spending cuts. >> so this has to be done carefully. i think the president's right that -- and i've said this for a long time -- that we have to look at both revenues and spending. but there needs to be compromise on both sides. >> woodruff: but mcconnell said the president needs to p

thanks for being with us. >> good to be here. >> sreenivasan: so help us understand, why are these retailers doing this? why is it so important? >> this holiday season we're going to see consumers who are still pretty cautious and as a result of that retailers are just a little bit desperate. these early openings are all about trying to grab the attention of consumers as soon as they can and grab a few of those dollars because overall the holiday season it may be that the shopping pie doesn't grow that much. so these retailers want to grab their own slice as soon as they possibly can. >> sreenivasan: so wal-mart was one of the big stores to do so. they were already opening at midnight. why push it into thanksgiving day itself? >> the competition among the retailers and i think they're inspiring each other to move it earlier and earlier because as people are going to be queuing up perhaps they want to be outside the store that's going to open first. so this cream phenomena is has set in as retailers are trying to outdo each other. >> sreenivasan: what is the creep phenomena likely to stop at?
